Park+ and Akamai partnership targets cloud cost complexity

Park+ is taking a closer look at what cloud scale really costs. Its migration to Akamai Cloud moves more than 100 TB of structured data and hundreds of terabytes of object storage while targeting major savings.

Park+ and Akamai partnership targets cloud cost complexity

Cloud migration is often framed around performance and scalability, but for Park+, cost predictability has become just as important. The Park+ and Akamai partnership has moved the auto-tech platform’s core infrastructure to Akamai Cloud, with the migration expected to reduce infrastructure costs by 50–60%.

The scale of the move is significant. Park+ migrated more than 150 Kubernetes-based microservices, over 100 SQL databases across more than 20 clusters, and multiple Redis, Elasticsearch and Kafka clusters. The transition also covered more than 100 TB of structured data and over 600 TB of object storage.

Park+ cloud migration tackles infrastructure complexity

The migration was designed around continuity rather than a single cutover. Akamai and Park+ used a phased approach with parallel environments, gradually moving workloads while keeping services running.

Data migration also required tailored approaches and tooling to maintain consistency and integrity. Akamai’s Professional Services team provided 24x7 support during critical phases, working alongside Park+ engineering teams.

The approach shows that Cloud infrastructure costs are only one part of a large migration. At this scale, keeping services available while moving data and workloads becomes equally important.

Cloud cost optimisation becomes a core goal

For Park+, the migration is closely tied to Cloud cost optimisation. The company said Akamai’s predictable pricing model, platform stability and engineering support helped it simplify infrastructure while maintaining reliability.

That combination is important as platforms grow. More services, databases and storage can increase operational complexity, making predictable infrastructure costs harder to manage. Park+ is now using the migration as a foundation for further infrastructure changes.

Akamai cloud computing could expand further

The Park+ and Akamai partnership is not ending with the core infrastructure migration. Park+ is evaluating additional workloads, including content delivery and security, for potential migration to Akamai.

That points to a broader infrastructure strategy. Rather than treating cloud migration as a one-time project, Park+ is looking at how more of its platform can be brought into a simpler operating model.

For now, the migration combines scale, cost control and operational continuity. The next phase will determine how far that approach extends across Park+’s wider digital infrastructure.
